In Tatarstan, rumors are spreading about the attack of an unknown animal on domestic animals. The predator was immediately called chupacabra. Reports of the killings of hens, chickens, rabbits came from two regions of the republic at once.
It all started in the Apastovsky district, where the locals told about a strange beast that had bitten livestock. The head of the Karatunsky rural settlement Radik Ismagilov confirmed this information.
- Indeed, in Karatun, three cases of an unknown animal attacking rabbits in three private farms have been registered. Strange three-toed tracks were found near the cages with rabbits, he said.
An unknown creature one meter tall managed to open the cage door and gnaw at the animals. But the owners themselves did not see the night visitor. Rumor has it that it was a Chupacabra. However, neither the locals nor the head of the rural settlement presume to assert precisely. However, the population should still be careful, tightly close the cages with pets and birds. And they are asked to report all cases of the appearance of an unknown beast to the Council of a rural settlement.
Following the Apastovites, residents of the village of Pseevo, Mendeleevsky District, also spoke about the attack of the unknown beast. The scenario is the same - he comes to farms at night and kills hens, chickens, rabbits. At first, the villagers thought that it was a ferret, but he carries away one or two carcasses at a time, and the unprecedented animal destroys everyone who gets out of the cage. The hounds believe that it is a Chupacabra.
Only a 13-year-old resident of the village came face to face with an unprecedented animal. At about 9 pm, the girl went outside to close the gate and saw something with red eyes. She threw a stick at him, after which the animal stood on its hind legs. With a cry, the teenager ran into the house. She is still in a state of shock, and refuses to talk about this topic. Her classmate Ayaz told the story from her words.
- The body is large black, the head is like a dog's, - says the boy and adds that since July they do not go out in the evenings - they are afraid.
The first to suffer from the Chupacabra were residents of the village of Tat. Sarsaz, which is located about two kilometers from Pseevo.

“We had two cages with 26 chickens and broilers,” says a resident of Tat. Sarsaza. - In July 2012, this animal killed them all. As I remember now, I went to bed that night late, about an hour, everything was calm. In the morning I went out into the yard and gasped. All the killed birds were lying in the yard, some had their heads eaten, others had legs … Two days before that, exactly the same story happened among the neighbors.
This year, the number of raids, and hence the number of victims, has increased significantly. Now the main victims of the bloodthirsty beast are the farms of the Pseevites. And to some chupacabra comes twice. Residents of Pseev are so scared that they turned to law enforcement agencies for help.
Specialist comment
“It's clear that this mysterious Chupacabra is our Russian beast, the wolverine,” Petr Gorshkov, professor of zoology at Kazan Pedagogical University, clarified. - This predator is very rare and very secretive. Even I, having worked in zoology for many years, saw a wolverine only twice in my life. Recently, its food supply has greatly decreased, in our forests there are less and less hares, small ungulates, even mice and ground squirrels. Therefore, wolverines are forced from the depths of the forests to come to villages, slaughter livestock. Usually this predator hunts alone.
Only hunger and fear unites animals into small flocks. The size of a wolverine is about the size of a medium dog, can stand on its hind legs and even climb trees. This animal can be dangerous to humans, attacks from behind and inflicts mortal wounds. A hunter friend from Mamadysh recently said that in front of his eyes in the forest, a wolverine drove a large lynx onto a tree and killed it. Wolverine rips open the stomachs of its victims, eats out the insides. What happened to the cattle of the victims of the "Chupacabra" is a typical hunting style of a wolverine.
